LED ZEPPELIN: JIMMY ON FIRE

Description

Jimmy Page performing at the Filmore East, NYC 1969.

"This was also taken from my favorite vantage point (the lowest balcony) where I could rest the telephoto lens on the railing for support. Because of the short distance from the balcony, it felt sometimes that I could just reach out and touch the musicians on stage. Once again the slow film (ASA 25) yielded some nice blur on Pages hair and the bow." ~ Eddie Kramer

About Eddie Kramer

Eddie Kramer is mostly known as a producer/engineer working closely with the biggest names of an era he likes to call 'The Golden Age of Rock & Roll' ('67-'72). During that period the whole recording industry was a much better place in terms of the amount of freedom the bands were given in order for them to create their albums. Eddie was afforded the opportunity to take intimate pictures of Hendrix, The Stones and Zeppelin, by virtue of his close working relationship with them.
